1. Introduction
The "IANA IPR Community Agreement" [1] was one of the many documents
that was part of the IANA Stewardship Transition. It calls for the
creation of the Community Coordination Group (CCG) to provide
guidance and advice to the IETF Trust regarding the stewardship of
the IANA Intellectual Property, which is the IANA trademarks and the
IANA domain names.
The CCG is comprised of nine individuals, called the CCG
Representatives. The three operational communities (i.e., the Names
Community, the Numbers Community, and the Protocol Parameters
Community) each appoint three CCG Representatives. Each operational
community has the right to change any of its CCG Representatives upon
written notice to the other operational communities and the IETF
Trust. An operational community may remove or replace its CCG
Representatives at any time and at its sole discretion. The means
and procedures by which an operational community chooses to select,
appoint, and remove its own CCG Representatives are determined solely
by that operational community.
Each operational community appoints one of its CCG Representatives as
a co-chair of the CCG, and that co-chair is empowered to speak on
behalf of its operational community regarding the IANA Intellectual
Property. An operational community has the right to change its CCG
co-chair upon written notice to the other operational communities and
the IETF Trust. An operational community may remove or replace its
CCG co-chair at any time and at its sole discretion.
